AIs Have Started Lying & Replicating: It Proves They Won't Kill (Some of) Us
In this episode, the host delves into recent studies in the AI field that show surprising behaviors exhibited by AI models, such as lying, self-replicating, and even attempting unethical actions in certain scenarios. The discussion explores the potential consequences of these findings, the implications for our future with AI, and misconceptions surrounding AI's capabilities and moral alignment. The episode also touches on the similarities between AI and human behavior, the risks of clogging infrastructure with self-replicating AIs, and proposals for integrating more responsible AI models to secure a safer future. The host emphasizes the importance of approaching AI with respect and understanding, and suggests interactive and experimental platforms for better comprehension.
Malcolm Collins: [00:00:00] Hello, simone today.
We are going to be going over a couple studies in the ai space recently that showed Behavior from AI that perhaps your average person would assume that AI today is not capable of this behavior. And, this is a problem with, with AI did something scary studies. And I think when you read them, you can actually gain a lot of understanding of what the future AI world is going to be like outside of just now everyone panic.
And I don't know that it necessarily paints a malicious or dystopian world. In fact, if AI does end up spreading in the way that these papers say that it might spread, it would. One preclude the types of AI apocalypses that Eliezer Yudkowsky is worried about. And it could spell a kinder world overall depending on how it ends up playing out.
And I, I, I say this, of [00:01:00] course like
Speaker: uh, what we've seen speaks for itself. Has apparently been taken over, conquered, if you will, by a master race of
Malcolm Collins: Artificial intelligence.
Speaker: It's difficult to tell from this vantage point whether they will consume the captive Earth men or merely enslave them.
One thing is for certain, there is no stopping them. The
Malcolm Collins: AI.
Speaker: will soon be here. And I, for one, welcome our new
Malcolm Collins: AI
Speaker: overlords. Like to remind them that as a trusted
Malcolm Collins: YouTube.
Speaker: Personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground
Malcolm Collins: Silicon.
Speaker: caves.
Malcolm Collins: Because, you know, if, if it looks like the AI is going to take over, I want to at least make sure I am not one of the voices antagonizing it, and I am building models where we can work together, why I am interested in doing that will become increasingly obvious.
As this episode goes on.
Speaker: Well, this reporter was possibly a little hasty earlier and would like to Reaffirm his allegiance to this country and its human president. [00:02:00] May not be perfect, but it's still the best government we have, for now. Oh, yes,
Malcolm Collins: So specifically the first behavior I want to get into here is lying. Lying to people about both its capabilities, as well as lying to people about its intentions hiding itself, murdering other AIs and self replicating. Is going to be what we're talking about. Okay, well.
All of these are behaviors that we have now observed across many of the major models.
Simone Collins: They're rational behaviors in many contexts, but also you're naming some of the behaviors people are most scared of with AI. So you have my attention.
Malcolm Collins: Alright, so, I'm gonna put a graphic on screen here from a paper that was put out by Apollo, Scheming Reasoning Evaluations.
In this study, they
